There is a difference between walking through a forest and actually taking your time in one.

At Nyungu Yamawe, you don't have to be a serious hiker to enjoy the trails.

Just come curious.

Walk beneath the trees. Listen to the birds. Look up every now and then. You might spot monkeys moving through the branches. You might stop because something caught your eye. You might end up taking far more photographs than you expected.

And that is part of the fun.

You never really know what you are going to notice when you slow down.

For children, the forest can turn an ordinary weekend into an adventure. For friends, it gives you something to do together that doesn't involve sitting indoors. For anyone who has spent most of the week staring at a screen, a walk under the trees can be a welcome change.

You can also make the walk part of a bigger day.

Explore in the morning.

Come back for lunch.

Take a swim.

Sit down and relax.

Or stay a little longer and watch the afternoon settle over the forest.

You don't need to plan every minute before you arrive.

Sometimes the best days are the ones where you simply see what happens.

And if you are bringing your camera, keep it ready. The forest has a way of giving you moments worth keeping.
